Adult brothers Mark and Colin Pollock still live with their parents Frank and Mavis Pollock in a small apartment in the projects of London's east end in what is a collective depressed and unhappy existence. The three men of the household are all on the dole, each doing little to find gainful employment. Between the brothers, Mark is the smart aleck, who calls his parents by their given names to irk them, and who hangs out with a bunch of hooligans as he refers to himself and his friends, such as a skinhead named Coxy. Although never medically diagnosed as such, Colin is seemingly emotionally slow. Colin likes to hang out with Mark and his friends in his want to be accepted, especially as Mark tells him that a neighborhood girl named Hayley is interested him. The family rarely socializes with Mavis' sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and John, who live a middle to upper middle class and seemingly perfect existence in the suburbs of Chigwell. Although not telling them to their face, John dislikes his relations by marriage, believing especially Mark to be brash and trashy. A unilateral act by Barbara leads to many issues within the extended family coming to the surface, most specifically the true happiness of the marriage between Barbara and John, and what Colin is truly looking for to be happy in life.
细水长流,最后的落脚真舒服。
这才是真正的庶民题材,充斥着叛逆不止、争吵不休的生活,结局收的真漂亮,普通人的人生终究是一场无限循环,4.5。
想要在愁云惨淡的Meantime里找到一个"正确的""最好的"的叙事角度是完全徒劳的,迈克李在要求他的观众对他的每个角色进行无时无刻的认知调整。像这样关于贫穷、阶级和撒切尔时代的作品很容易走向单向的政治宣言,只有像迈克李这样目光犀利耳朵灵敏的创作者,才能用数不清的细节让他尖利的批评针针见血。
Tim and Gary...
7/10 比前作更成熟的叙事 少了一些舞台剧感(虽然整体还是比较重) 依然充满现实主义色彩 对人物刻画极其精妙
